Reuvena Leah Grodnitzky - Chabad.org

Rabbi Eliezer Shemtov, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Uruguay, leads a discussion of his book, Dear Rabbi, Why Can't I Marry Her?

As studies continue to report on the growing phenomenon of intermarriage and the decline of the Jewish population, a new Spanish translation of a book chronicling one rabbi's correspondence with a soon-to-be intermarried Catholic is causing a stir in South America.

It was two years ago, the 30th of Shvat, February 28th 2006, when R. Efraim Klein HY”D was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Crown Heights. He had gone out in order to move his minivan to avoid having to move it later for alternate side parking regulations the next day. He was 47 years old.

He was shot through the window of his car, and was later pronounced dead in Kings County Hospital. His son was set to have his wedding the following week. The investigation by the NYPD has ‘gone cold’ according to a source in Crown Heights’s 71st Pct.

Police marked the anniversary of his death by distributing posters and flyers around the neighborhood and the area of the crime, in hopes to get new leads on the case which has long gone cold.

Op-Ed: Yeshiva Tuition Crises

Levi is 16 years old. He just took a 18 hour painful trip home from the Holy Land, where he studied very successfully in a good yeshiva, for over a year now.

We are Shluchim of the Rebbe and live in woop woop land, and there is no chinuch for our kids here. Levi loved every day of Yeshiva, and we were very proud to receive awesome reports from the Hanhala, throughout the year.

These years as we know are the forming years of a child’s growth in yiddishkeit, they make it in the right environment, or break it, c”v.
